| Question | Answer |
|---|---|
| Mendel’s Experiment | removed anthers from one plant |
| Probability– | chance a trait shows up, # of events/total # of events |
| Cross Pollination | plant fertilizes different plant |
| Self Pollination | plant fertilizes itself |
| Genes | each parent gives one set to offspring, not only influence on traits, instructions for inherited traits |
| Heterozygous | one dominant and one recessive allele |
| Homozygous | two dominant or recessive alleles |
| Sexual Reproduction | produces offspring different than both parents |
| Asexual Reproduction – | Many human body cells, mitosis, one parent |
| Homologous Chromosomes | carry same set of genes |
| Dominant | capital letter, showed up in first generation |
| Recessive | appear in the second generation, lower case letter |
| Pedigree | diagram to trace a trait |
| Punnett Square | organizes different offspring possibilities, use to solve problems |
| Characteristic | feature with different forms in a population |
| Trait | different forms of a characteristic |
| Incomplete Dominance | each allele has a degree of influence |
| Allele | two forms of a gene |
| Heredity | passing of traits from parent to offspring |
| Genotype | organisms inherited alleles, |
| Phenotype | way an organism looks |
| True Breeding | always produce offspring with the same trait |
| Sex Chromosomes | carry genes that determine sex, female XX, male XY, sex cells made during meiosis |
